Unauthorized Access Detection

Abstract

Methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses include receiving sensor data from a sensor system associated with a vehicle during operation of the vehicle over a plurality of modes of operation, computing, based on the sensor data, a vehicle fingerprint comprising one or more vehicle characteristics over the plurality of modes of operation, monitoring additional received sensor data from the sensor system during further operation of the vehicle, determining whether an anomaly exists based on comparing the additional received sensor data to the vehicle fingerprint, and based upon determining that an anomaly exists, providing an alert to a communication interface associated with the vehicle.
